I wanted to try the soft tree pattern I found on little birds handmade. I already had the red felt. The only thing I had in enough quantity to make three trees was the little white pom-poms. So the result was polka-dot trees! I gave them as gifts to three of my friends when we met for coffee last night. I hope they enjoy the quirky little things. In poking around through all of my bins, I found a box of some old sequins that had a very few of these great silver snowflakes and white diamonds. So I will have to make one for myself with those. I also found a small stack of Christmas printed cotton--nothing fancy, but two very tiny trees might look cute with the one larger red felt. My kids think they look like hats, but what do they know!
